- Weather information.
- Air traffic information.
- Status of aircraft systems.
- Other safety information.
Related Implementation Plan
None.
Completed Outputs
This Safety Enhancement has been addressed by the Data Communications (Data Comm), Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), and System Wide Information Management (SWIM) programs, which are developing datalink capability. In addition, the NASA Aviation Safety Program (AvSP) is currently conducting research to develop technologies that will provide aircraft system status and health monitoring under the Vehicle Systems Safety Technologies (VSST) project.
